HD and the Void
I pick a topic I want to know more about and dig into it for a year. 2017 is all about space! I'll look at anything that sends me down a research tangent. I do take requests, I don't keep it formal, I do my research, I don't like describing complex math but I do try. Wander with me into the cat’s-cradle tangle of society, history, science, and anything I thought was cool to mention.

Double digits for the podcast! To celebrate, I'm talking about something I've mentioned a lot in past episodes; spectroscopy! Hear about the history of this area of astronomical science, how it opened up new understanding about the Sun and stars and nebulae, and what advancements were made during the 19th and 20th centuries thanks to spectroscopy.
